| Abstract | A week-long pre-college program for teachers and students has been developed to give the participants an introduction to engineering via hands-on activities. The program brings the students and teachers to campus where the construct two kits: a high-powered model rocket kit and a instrumentation package that is flown in the rocket. The program emphasizes problemsolving and critical thinking skills. Upon completion of the rocket flight, the data are analyzed using standard spreadsheets. The participants give oral presentations to describe the data collected, the interpretation of the data, and a description of their overall experience. The activities in the program have been tracked with the New Mexico secondary school curriculum standards to enable teachers to see how the material can be related to the various content areas. In this paper, the details of the program will be given along with sample reactions of the studentteacher teams participating in the program. |
